    Everyone watching this understands what a gifted maker Laura is, but can we take a moment to appreciate how she curates the best music and incorporates it so seamlessly into her videos? Her editing skills are just as incredible. I think other UA-camrs could learn a big lesson from this just as a matter of capititalizing on viewer statistics: keeping the viewer engaged with the music all the way through makes sure they watch the whole video start to finish. Love you, Laura, stay awesome!

      @dinobuddy is so correct. I'd love to see a video on *how* Laura edits to the music. It's almost as if she's been listening to the song over and over while making whatever she's making. MAYbe!?

    Very interesting that you used Ballistol to finish the lamp. I have used Ballistol on devices that fling projectiles at high velocity, as a lubricant on the sole of my plane, and a few other things, but not as a wood finish. I don't have the spray version (in fact the bottle of Ballistol I have is decades old), so I don't test that, but if I see the spray version, I will give that a go. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the great work

    Laura, U should consider "lashing," multiple wraps of heavy thread or fine cord, for cable control when it is exposed. Telecom companies used (maybe still use) lashing for neat cable bundles (they rarely use zip ties as cabling may stay in place for decades & plastic dies & cracks over time)

    You know, if you're laminating wood like that for something you plan on powering, you can actually imbed the wire IN the wood while you're laminating the layers together by having a few layers be split in two leaving a gap. ;)
    If you're interested in a more detailed explanation, let me know and I can make a render of what I'm talking about.

    What if you used little brass eyebolts through the holes in the arm to thread the wire through? I think it'd match the look and it would keep the wire much straighter and closer to the arm. You could even get fancy and install grommets in the eyes of the bolts.

    I love everything about this lamp! I need to keep that technique in my back pocket: cutting wood into thin strips, wetting, bending in a form, glueing up. The shape of the shade reminds me of a Tiffany lamp! It got a cool radius effect at the bottom from the plywood. I like the holes and cord wrap, it’s utilitarian. Also, I’m fond of those toggle switches.
